.Sh DESCRIPTION
The string to key functions convert a string to a kerberos key.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_string_to_key_data_salt_opaque
is the function that does all the work, the rest of the functions are
just wrappers around
.Fn krb5_string_to_key_data_salt_opaque
that calls it with default values.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_string_to_key_data_salt_opaque
transforms the
.Fa password
with the given salt-string
.Fa salt
and the opaque, encryption type specific parameter
.Fa opaque
to a encryption key
.Fa key
according to the string to key function associated with
.Fa enctype .
.Pp
The
.Fa key
should be freed with
.Fn krb5_free_keyblock_contents .
.Pp
If one of the functions that doesn't take a
.Li krb5_salt
as it argument
.Fn krb5_get_pw_salt
is used to get the salt value.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_get_pw_salt
get the default password salt for a principal, use
.Fn krb5_free_salt
to free the salt when done.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_free_salt
frees the content of
.Fa salt .
